So, I measured the sheet and came up with some instructions. Now I can use any cute fabric for extra sheets. Which fabric do you think will help stimulate your child's intelligence? Sock Monkeys, of course!
You will need 1 1/2 yards of woven fabric (cotton, poly/cotton, flannel, etc...anything soft)
 |
|
1. Cut three
pieces:
one @ 39” x 34 ½ “ (longer length is
cut with the grain, parallel to the selvedge) hereafter called “A”
two@ 20 ½ “ x 4” (Shorter length is cut
with the grain, parallel to the selvedge) hereafter called “B”
|
2. Serge or
zig zag stitch both long ends of both “B” pieces. (not pictured)
 |
|
3. Place piece
“A” right side up, oriented with shorter side across the top. With right sides
together, pin short edge of one “B” piece to top right edge of “A.”
|
 |
| Pin the other short edge of the same piece to the top left edge of “A.” |
 |
|
You will
need to bunch up piece “A” since it is wider than “B.”
|
 |
|
4. Repeat
with the second “B” piece at the bottom of “A.”
|
 |
|
5. Using a
3/8” seam allowance, sew both “B” pieces to “A.”
|
 |
|
6. Serge or
zig zag stitch over seam allowances from top to bottom, careful to just serge
the edge and try not to cut off any fabric.
|
 |
|
7. On the
ironing board, with right sides together, fold in 4” on each long edge of the
sheet. The top and bottom, where “B” is attached, should lay flat.
|
 |
| Press the folded sides where “B” is attached. |
 |
|
8. Pin
across the top and bottom.
|
 |
|
9. Stitch
with a 3/8” seam allowance.
|
 |
|
10. Serge or
zig zag stitch seams, again being careful not to cut off any of the fabric.
|
 |
|
11. Turn
right sides out and press.

Portable Crib Sheet Pattern
Super easy; great beginner project
This pattern
uses only 1 ½ yards of woven fabric (lightweight cottons, poly/cotton or
flannel work great) and will fit the “Pack ‘N Play” brand.
1. Cut three
pieces:
one @ 39” x 34 ½ “ (longer length is
cut with the grain, parallel to the selvedge) hereafter called “A”
two@ 20 ½ “ x 4” (Shorter length is cut
with the grain, parallel to the selvedge) hereafter called “B”
2. Serge or
zig zag stitch both long ends of both “B” pieces.
3. Place piece
“A” right side up, oriented with shorter side across the top. With right sides
together, pin short edge of one “B” piece to top right edge of “A.” Pin the
other short edge of the same piece to the top left edge of “A.” You will need
to bunch up piece “A” since it is wider than “B.”
4. Repeat
with the second “B” piece at the bottom of “A.”
5. Using a
3/8” seam allowance, sew both “B” pieces to “A.”
6. Serge or
zig zag stitch over seam allowances from top to bottom, careful to just serge
the edge and try not to cut off any fabric.
7. On the
ironing board, with right sides together, fold in 4” on each long edge of the
sheet. The top and bottom, where “B” is attached, should lay flat. Press the
folded sides where “B” is attached.
8. Pin
across the top and bottom.
9. Stitch
with a 3/8” seam allowance.
10. Serge or
zig zag stitch seams, again being careful not to cut off any of the fabric.
11. Turn
right sides out and press.
See? I told
you it was easy!!
